Pullman Fare Raise Authorized By ICC
The Interstate Commerce Commission authorized six eastern railroads to raise first class Pullman fares by 15 percent with five days notice. The railroads are Chesapeake & Ohio, New York Central, Norfolk & Western, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines, and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie. The commission also extended its prior 5 percent rise for coach and first class fares on the Lehigh Valley and Reading roads, effective January 9. The move follows earlier interim authorization from December. In Detroit a Chrysler stamping dispute led to a 30,000 worker walkout threatening layoffs at Evansville and other plants if the shortage persists, potentially idling 106,000 workers nationwide. North Carolina irrigation totaled 25,423 acres in 1954, up from 2,083 acres in 1948.
